Kochi, a city draped in layers of history, has been a vibrant centre of trade since the 14th century, its fame spreading far and wide among Arab merchants eager for its prized spices. Portuguese traders were drawn to its shores in 1505, leaving behind the echoes of their presence in the distinct ethereal edifices that dot the city. It's a coveted traveller's destination, securing a firm foothold in Nielsen Company's sixth best tourism spot in India, and was recognised in 2019 by Lonely Planet's list of top 10 cities to visit.

The city, frequently referred to as the financial, commercial and industrial heartthrob of Kerala, boasts the highest GDP per capita in the state. Essential maritime facilities, such as the Port of Kochi, the Cochin Shipyard, and the Kochi Marina, underline the city's significance in Indian trade. It vibrates with scholarly pursuits, being home to the Cochin University of Science and Technology and the National University of Advanced Legal Studies. The city is also a cradle of contemporary Indian art, hosting the Kochi-Muziris Biennale since 2012. This unique blend of historical richness and buzzing modernity sets Kochi apart as a jewel on the Indian coast.

When to visit Cochin

Settled in the alluring state of Kerala, the ideal time to embrace the warmth of Kochi falls between October and February, as the city is wrapped in cool and comfortable weather, devoid of the intense summer heat. Summers in Kochi, beginning in March, can be quite scorching with temperatures escalating to 37°C.

An intriguing alternative, however, is embracing Kochi's mystical allure during monsoon season. The rains draping the city in a wet, emerald veneer stirs a unique refreshing atmosphere, making this coastal metropolis an evocative exploration ground throughout the year.
